Publication number: 20050185825Abstract: Projector units in a table display a content list, a content selected by the content list and the like, on screens. Infrared rays are uniformly irradiated to the screens from a plurality of infrared LED's. A camera unit images the silhouette of an object touching the screens to judge whether the silhouette is formed by a pointing member such as a fingertip for touching the content list or by an object other than the pointing member. If it is judged that the pointing member such as a fingertip touches the screens, a content menu is selected from the content list.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 9, 2005Publication date: August 25, 2005Inventors: Takeshi Hoshino, Youichi Horii, Yukinobu Maruyama, Yoh Miyamoto, Mariko Kato, Manabu Yanagimoto
